Man Here is another article explaining a little more about the banning of PC Cast’s House of Night series in Stephenville, Texas.  These books are real life situations and people think keeping teens from them will prevent certain things from happening, I think not. Banning these awesome books should be a sin. (laugh)

“Two series of vampire novels were removed from a junior high school library last school year in Stephenville, the only area school district to remove books according to an annual statewide survey of school districts.

The ACLU criticized Stephenville ISD, calling it “the most prolific banner of the year with 11 bans,” though the district did not specify the exact number of books removed, only naming both series in a response to the ACLU survey.

Stephenville school officials were not immediately available for comment. See Tuesday’s Reporter-News or check later for more details.

Books in the House of Night series by author P.C. Cast were removed from Henderson Junior High School, as were books in the Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead, according to the American Civil Liberties Union, which said about 70 percent of all school districts responded to their survey.

The first book in the best-selling Vampire Academy series carries this disclaimer from Booklist magazine: “Occasional steamy sex and a scattering of vulgar language demand mature readers, but teens able to handle the edgy elements will speed through this vamp story and anticipate the next installment.”

Cast, who writes the House of Night series with her daughter, Kristin, said the pair “had in mind kids sixteen years old on up when we began writing the series,” according to an interview posted on the social networking Web site Facebook, though Cast also encouraged parents to read the books and decide for themselves if they were appropriate.”
